Scott Sinclair will not be returning to Manchester City.

Aston Villa announced Tuesday that the winger, 26, has made his loan move from the Citizens permanent, signing a deal that will keep him in claret and blue for the next four seasons.

The Englishman, who joined Villa in January, has scored three goals since arriving at the club, helping them stave off relegation.

"I am so happy," the former Swansea attacker said of the announcement.

"We've had a fantastic end to the current season - and now I am already looking forward to the new season starting.

"It's also great for me and the family to be settled now. For every footballer, it's important to have that stability. I believe that will help me perform better and push on for this great club in the coming years."

He continued:

"It's so much different than when you're on loan and going here, there and everywhere.

"It was important for the family to have that stability and I'm thrilled it's with a club like Villa. This is the happiest I have been in a long time."
